Our assembly continued to debate on the issues of pluralism and minority groups, and Japan had once again contributed much to the discussions. However, some of the points raised by Japan were actually crappy, and again I was really trying hard not to fall asleep in the conference room. Anyway, I had emphasized numerous times the importance of economics in solving the problems of discrimination and marginalization of dispossessed entities, and some delegates had disagreed with that. Nonetheless I had worked on the working paper with Bing (Indonesia) and a native American, Andrew (Peru), so hopefully we will submit a wonderful draft resolution for further discourse tomorrow.
After a long day of seemingly endless debates, the Taiwanese delegates kindly brought Bing and I to the Shida Night Market （师大夜市）for dinner. We had gorged ourselves silly with smelly beancurd, marinated assortment（卤味）, and ice desserts（刨冰）, and were really appreciative of the efforts and time of the Taiwanese delegates to make us feel comfortable and happy. By the way, I heard that Evan Yo（蔡旻佑）, a newcomer to the Mando-pop scene, is actually a student of the National Taiwan Normal University（国立台湾师范大学）. More importantly, his talents have been discovered and realized by Jacky Wu（吴宗宪！）
Last but not least, I had finally appeared in the latest Taiwanese variety show of 我猜我猜我猜猜猜 hosted by Jacky Wu (aired on 25 November 2006) in the evening! For eager and interested friends who may wanna catch a glimpse of NTU foreign students like myself in the programme, please visit some of the "illegal" websites for more details (especially so for Yuting!). Anyway, it had been both exciting and weird seeing myself on national TV here!
